Not-so-gentle reminder that the GOP isn't "the American Taliban". The Taliban are an extremist form of Sunni Islam. The GOP are not Muslim. They are Christofascist Radicalized Religious Extremists. Stop equating everything bad with middle eastern religions and culture. This is explicitly Christian extremism.

Someone accused me of doing a sponsored post and disguising it as one of my facts. I can assure you that if a company ever pays me to write one of these stupid facts you will know. I will be bragging about it for months. I will frame that check and make a picture of that dirty money my banner on here.
I’ve been in remission for almost 11 years. Last month, my oncologist finally took me off Letrozole, and this week I’m feeling it. I can sleep for 8 hours and wake up refreshed, instead of needing 11 hours just to function. The hot flashes have subsided. Hoping to see similar benefits in blood work for calcium, cholesterol, and blood pressure.

No one is going to argue the #ADL is perfect, certainly not me. That said, the attacks on the ADL I'm seeing on the Fediverse aren't nuanced critiques of ADL policy or actions, but are predominantly the same types of rhetoric seen against any Jews who speak out against hate they experience:
They're "Pro-Israel" (by which they mean don't want to see Israel destroyed)
"They're racist" (I've yet to see anything racist the ADL has said, but am open to reading it), etc.
The other question one should ask is what other organization representing a marginalized group do you see that has so much criticism lobbied against it from people outside the group itself?
When you see that kind of criticism lobbied at a group representing marginalized people, how do you feel about the ones doing the critiquing and or calling for the group to be disbanded or destroyed?
If ad hominem attacks on other groups makes you uncomfortable, the same should hold true of the ADL.

I really love teaching. It infuriates me when people berate others for not knowing something - no one starts by knowing everything. Instead of reacting to "dumb" questions with hostility, it's better to react with patience and detailed explanations.

@TonyStark @qotca we are trying to emulate Michigan in Ohio. Working to get a truly independent commission rather than our politician led commission full of unaccountables.

🥥 If it walks like a #Nazi, talks like a Nazi, and looks like a Nazi, it must be #ElonMusk blaming Jews for X's failings and threatening to sue the #AntiDefamationLeague for his loss of advertisers at the site formerly known as #Twitter. 🥥
